Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2742 Unknown
The connection has been lost.

The reason for revealing the true identity of the King of Abandoned Prisoners and bookstore owner was actually that simple.

Let's test whether Taylor's prayer to "Payment" instead of the King of Abandonment resonates with Abandonment when combined with the original emblem.

This is by no means a pointless act; it actually involves a fundamental philosophical question—Who am I?

To be honest, "payment before payment" is undoubtedly its core essence.

As mentioned earlier, there is a dedicated certification for the repository, and the SAN value is also bound to the name "付前".

Furthermore, considering the appearance of the Vacuum Flower with sanity elements, we can conclude that the name "Fuqian" is tied to certain core rules of the bookstore world.

So, is the payment process linked to the King of Abandoned Prison?

At first glance, the answer to this question seems obvious.

When they earned this title, it was clearly stated that they were wearing the skin of a god.

Even if he later became the king of the abandoned prison with 120% certainty, his sanity would still drop when it was supposed to, which is enough to prove that his essence has not changed and he is still that outsider Fu Qian.

But this raises a question that we haven't explored in depth yet—why has the "payment" never received any requests?
Yes, since even the emblem of the King of Abandoned Prisons is the emblem of "Fuzen", then theoretically, if someone has some special doubts, can they also call out to themselves by the emblem plus the name "Fuzen"?

However, it seems that this has never happened even once in all this time.

Although some explanations can be attempted for this situation.

For example, the King of Abandoned Prison corresponds to the true superior, while the false god "Fu Qian" is theoretically only at the second tier at present.

However, given the chaotic state of the bookstore community at the bottom, those who are not of a high enough status cannot receive a call for help.

Even before the payment, it was acknowledged that this was a conjecture that could not be disproven at the moment.

But he's never been one to be satisfied with just an explanation. Given the opportunity to test it out, why not take it?

As for the specific testing method, it was naturally to let the already tempted Taylor try it out, combining the King of Abandoned Prisons emblem with "Payment" to see if he could rekindle the reaction to abandoning prison.

To make the results more convincing, the first step is definitely to disconnect, which is what he just did.

What? What if we can't get back after the connection is lost, or what if Taylor simply doesn't follow the plan?
There's really no need to worry about that; it's a destined showdown.

Fu Qian believes that even if he wakes up in the real world and doesn't remember what happened here, there must be some kind of impulse surging up deep inside Taylor's heart—is that a bit too optimistic?

With this strong sense of trust, Fu Qian silently watched the empty round platform after Taylor left.

However, quite some time had passed, and the place remained empty.

……

"Where did you go? You just ran away?"

As expected of a nemesis, Jiang En seemed to sense something amiss in his silence, and at a certain moment couldn't help but show the posture of a victor.

"...You think you can escape? You can curse me, and you can curse me too. There's no point in hiding like a coward."

However, without the contrast of the losers, the pleasure didn't last long enough. Soon, Jiang En couldn't help but speak up again, mocking the essence of this behavior as nothing more than self-deception.

Unfortunately, even with increasingly harsh words, no response was received.

"Ha... I never thought that I, a fine man like Jiang, would be on par with someone like you."

To the point that he eventually let out a cold laugh and uttered a classic line—

"You're talking nonsense!" But a classic is a classic, and at that moment it successfully elicited a response, it was Taylor's voice.

Yes, just as Jiang En was saying the previous sentence, Fu Qian finally spotted a familiar outline in the turbulent ripples and casually tossed a Scarlet Angel over, repeating the previous resonance process.

Although it took much longer than expected, Brother Taylor returned as promised and immediately roared at his nemesis.

"It's completely useless, that so-called real name!"

However, the reason didn't sound like being annoyed by a famous quote, but rather dissatisfaction with the test results.

It's clear that although he returned, his thought process remained quite coherent.

"Useless? How could that be!"

Jiang En immediately returned to the main topic, expressing disbelief at the test results.

……

So you tried "Pay Before" first and found it didn't work, so you used the King of Abandoned Prison to get in?
When no one showed up for a long time, Fu Qian had a pretty good idea of ​​what the test results would be, and now Taylor's words confirmed it.

It really doesn't work?

Even though the content related to sanity can be reflected in the Abandoned Prison, the name, which was originally one entity, still cannot replace the King of the Abandoned Prison.

Why? Is it really because the rank mentioned earlier is insufficient?

Fu Qian still found that explanation somewhat tedious, and at the same time, he seemed to see an ominous sign...

"Why is it impossible? It's obvious the name is wrong... Even if you're making an excuse, you shouldn't choose one that's so easily verifiable."

Taylor, on the other hand, wasn't confused much and readily gave his answer, while also making sarcastic remarks about Jiang En.

"Ridiculous, why would I make excuses? Besides, I didn't even say that, did I?"

Jiang En naturally couldn't stand this insult and immediately retorted, signaling Taylor not to try to win people over with her mental fortitude.

"Yes, that's what I said."

At this point, how could Fu Qian shirk responsibility? He immediately stepped forward once again and decisively took control of the situation.

I told you there was no need to worry about the King of Abandoned Prison's true identity being revealed.

Putting aside whether anyone would believe it if they told others, the two heroes of the capital have already reasonably refuted that information in just a moment, and now they don't even believe it themselves.

"After thinking about it, I realized I must have remembered the wrong person. The guy at the bookstore is actually called Master Yuhun."

After admitting that he had provided the information, Fu Qian shamelessly confessed that he had made a mistake and went on to give another name.

Indeed, he stated that besides being the King of Abandoned Prisons, he has many other identities.

If the rank of "Fu Qian" is not enough, then the rank of "Xin Mo Yu Hun Shang Ren" should be enough.

The contestants are calling out with this title and emblem. Will they be able to receive it when they are released from prison?
If we know the answer to this question, then we can compare it with "before payment" to confirm whether it is a matter of hierarchy.

The testing is far from over; this is a complete plan.

"Has any of you heard of it? This name is very mysterious; only those with extensive knowledge would know it."

As for whether the two volunteers might cooperate? Fu Qian said that was easy, and immediately smiled and proposed another competition.
